5.1
MODULE WIRING
CORRECT WIRING SCHEME
· Ensure that the wiring is correct before starting up the
system. If the measured open circuit voltage (Voc) and
short-circuit current (Isc) differ substantially from the spe-
cifications, this indicates that there is a wiring fault.
· Do not connect different connectors (brand and model)
together.
· When modules have been pre-installed but the system has
not been connected to the grid yet, each module string
should be kept under open-circuit conditions and proper
actions should be taken to avoid dust and moisture penet-
ration inside the connectors.
· For CS3W, CS3U and CS3K series modules, Canadian Solar
Inc. offers several cable length options to match various
system configurations, which are shown in table 2:
· On below figures, bold lines represent cable installation
pathways, while + and - connector correspond to positive
and negative module terminals respectively.
· Cables should always be fastened on module frames or
mounting rails, in order to avoid shading on module rear
side.
· In case where a cable connection method not included in
below table is used, please confirm suitable cable length
with Canadian Solar’s sales representative.
